Chapter 18 - Reminiscence: A Heartless Ripper!

"Every day, different place, different victim and different taste of blood. I know I've got myself a bad habit but I don't give a damn about it!" ~BK

5 a.m.

The sun was about to shoot but the hallway of where the ripper stayed in cast a dim scene while it was rather creepy as the lights were flickering considering the fact that the handyman had skipped his job to fix the broken ones last night. Steps were heard as one of the twins was walking along the spacious hallway to pay a little visit to his brother's suite. He could smell the strong scent of blood twirled with a smell so close to those wilting tainted roses as though something has died for quite some time before dawn, coming from a particular suite, far at the end of the hallway. He knew where he should headed to now while on his handsome face marks a frustration expression that would make none would be daring enough to approach him in his dark side. The newspaper roll on his hand was crumpled as he clenched his fist tight. He gave a hard knock on the door with his knuckles as soon as he was standing in front of the tormented suite but there was no answer and the hallway remained in silence. Again and again he knocked, making a little sound disturbance in the earliest morning, ignoring the fact that he would interrupted the peaceful scene enjoyed by the sleeping guests. Eventually, he got fed up of hurting his knuckles and upon of not receiving any respond, with the vampiric power he owned, Tom unlocked the door from outside by a mind control in order to enter Bill's temporary lair.  

Blood stains were everywhere on the carpet and walls of that grand-looking suite. It was in such a mess and Tom just knew that Bill was the fault to it. The blood trails him down to where Bill had his dinner and no doubt, it was where he is currently sleeping too. He closed the door behind him and went straight to the bedroom to greet the ripper known as his brother. It wasn't a surprise to him to find 3 blood drained corpses including one uniformed man who happens to be assigned to work as the hotel's handyman, lying motionless on the floor, around the bed of where Bill was silently sleeping like the dead. There were even two dead ladies in a sexy lingerie with a punctured neck lying next to Bill, both on his left and right side.

Tom was so pissed of what he have seen, he immediately opened the curtains to get the early Sunrise inside, letting it shine directly to Bill.

"What the hell?" Bill got up in shock and block the sunlight with his tattooed arms. With a little exposure to the Sun, he was still afraid it would burn him off, forgetting the fact that he was being protected with a spelled ink on his body.

"Good morning, little brother!"  Tom smile sinisterly as he greeted Bill from the end of the bed.

"Oh hey Tom, do you mind? the curtains? I'm trying to sleep here." He yawned. 

"Had a fiesta last night?"

He buried his face in the pillow but still muttering a few words to answer Tom's ridiculous sarcastic question. "Sure! as you can see." He was clearly amused by Tom as he wouldn't give a damn about the world at the moment, he just wanted to sleep.

Tom's temper was boiling upon watching his sly twin's act, in a flash of lighting he moved closer to Bill and pulled him out from the bed, strangled him to the wall with his muscular arms.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Trying to release himself from Tom's locked arms, he couldn't help but to ask.

"What the fuck is wrong with me? What the fuck is wrong with you? Look around, Bill! Just look what you've done! This is not a human torture chamber, this is a hotel room!"

"Duh, like I didn't know that."

"And you think keeping dead bodies in a hotel room wouldn't be a problem for a rockstar like you?"

"No, not when I'm a vampire. Can you just let me go already? You're starting to annoy me with your stupid questions, Tom!" He rolled his eyes and chuckled. To him, Tom was just being ridiculous, acting as if he has no idea of how his life as a ripper revolves around him. He certainly knew, it wasn't the first time Tom has caught him in a room filled with corpses. Hence, to see Tom acting that way has made him laugh and for a second thought, he wondered, what has got into Tom's mind on that morning.

"I can't believe it. You still don't get it, do you?" Tom shook his head in disbelief and finally let go of his brother.

"Get what?" Confusion was all he had in mind.

"Of what you're doing is all wrong!"

"What did I do wrong?"

"Everything, Bill! Every single God damned thing!" Tom grabbed the newspaper and threw it right on Bill's face.

He didn't know what was going on but with that harsh throw, it was clearly obvious that something wasn't right and it was written as a headline on the newspaper which got Tom all moody for that particular morning.

Headline: Blood drained bodies were found buried in the woods. Are we really going to question ourselves now, is there a vampire living among us?

"We're this close, Bill. This close! I told you, enough is enough. And now, you're gonna get us caught with this bloody hotel scene!"

"I'll clean it up, it's okay if you don't wanna help."

"What? You're gonna throw the bodies in the river, this time around?"

"They're not gonna catch us, chillax!"

"Oh maybe not today, but someday they will! All because of your stupid uncontrollable lust for blood! I guess history will be repeating again!"

There was no deny that Tom was afraid of what used to happen in the past would come and haunt them again. He could see the fear through Tom's eyes and as he stared deeper, there was a vision appeared, a chasing crowd of peasants with cross and stakes on their hand, ready to kill them with merciless rage. After a few years of his original turning, he had loathe human ever since that very day! Indeed, they were his only source of food but because of the human, the old him had to be killed and his soul was forced to put into a deep sleep for thousand years. But after all, he was all to be blamed for. How ego and pride took control of oneself, he was in a great denial to admit that the exposition of his secret vampire identity was all because of his killing massacre. Yet the detrimental traits of his still lingers within him in the 21st century era, after he was reborn as Bill Kaulitz, the rockstar.

"Tom, is it wrong for me to have dinner? To fill in my thirst? Is it wrong, Tom? Is it wrong for me to feed on human blood to keep on living in this world? Tell me, Tom! Is it all wrong?" He shouted out loud, letting out his anger whilst still trying to be all innocent, as if killing people is the only option he has.

"You drained them, Bill! There was not even a single drop of blood left in their bodies for them to actually live! Tom exclaimed and tears started to rain down his cheek."I am a vampire too but you are far more worst than me, you are monster! A ripper!"

"Well, you shouldn't have turned me in the first place!"

"Yes, I regret from that very day I brought you into this dark world!"

"And you rather leave me as a human? That's gonna happen, alright!" Bill let out a little laugh knowing how their brotherly love is so strong and the thought of Tom leaving him alone would be  the joke of the century.

"No, Bill. You're right. I just couldn't leave you but to see you like this, pains me."

"Don't you ever blame me for your pain! You've turned me. So instead of begging me to stop, I think you're the one who should find a way to fix me, Tom!" He gave an evil eye as he walked past Tom and left the bedroom.

He would never want to hurt his brother but to hear what Tom said has made him feel so angry to the point where he couldn't face Tom and his teary moment anymore. His heart was breaking, knowing that Tom was in pain because of him but after a while, the ego inside of him slowly swallowed him whole. "Tom did this to me, whether he likes it or not, this is me and this is my life!" He tried to ease his heart by assuring to himself that it wasn't his fault. He didn't ask to be turned but for all sake of their strong bond, it was no objection for him to refuse the turning offer. Of course he didn't know he would ended up being a ripper. All he knew, blood is essential and in order to survive, he would have human sucked to dry, heck whatever it takes, just to fulfil his vivacious blood lust!
